I just got some real nice cocabola for some risers on my BBO bows.I know its a fairly oily wood.How do you guys prep it before glueing, you wipe it down with acetone or just sand it with course paper and blow it off. Wytetale
I understand that acetone, or alcohol will actually draw more oil out which is not a good thing when gluing up. I've seen people scrub oily wood down with soapy water and let dry, I don't know if that would apply to Coco or not. Tim
I wipe it with plain water and rough it up with 60 grit sandpaper. I think the roughing is the key. I finish it with thin (from the hobby store) super glue, sand that and finish with whatever you usually use. Some finishes never dry on coco.
